Kohei Akiyama, a charismatic 59-year-old fencing master, has left his dojo in the hands of his son Daijiro, a robust and skilled swordsman. Together, father and son embark on a series of dangerous adventures, risking their lives to preserve peace in the turbulent Edo of the mid-18th century. In a city ruled by a corrupt ruling class, plagued by droughts, floods, and famine, they face bandits, criminals, and dangerous ronin to ensure order and justice prevail.

With its fast-paced action, memorable combat, and honor, Kenkaku Shobai is the finest example of classic Japanese adventure fiction, a publishing phenomenon that has sold over 18 million copies in Japan.
